I think soon, but not yet.

Edit:

I do like the new opening screen. Nice art, but Penn's face seems a little off for some reason.

Interesting new splash screen.

Just to be clear, but it is still possible to get the 8-year anniversary badge, right? That didn't accidently get shut off, did it?

Not live yet. Just tried to get in, and it said it's still undergoing maintenance.

Don't pick on Penny Chin. She's still recovering from whatever horrible accident warped to her right shin and ankle.

Yep, the CoH crew is checking to see if the wheels fell off on anything unexpectedly. If there's a bug, I hope they find it, if not -- sweet Issue 23.

The badge hunter in me is ready to go and get all eight exploration badges (and the accolade), and the four defeat badges.

Of course a new iTrial is pretty awesome too.

Wow...that's almost Liefield bad. Her right leg is like a foot longer than her left and seems to have a second knee in it.

And here I thought Paragon's official terminology was the "WST."

You heard (read?) it here folks! New official term for the Weekly Task Force/Trials is the WTF. Wuhoo!

Low blow.

That is almost as bad as comparing the writing to that of John Byrne.

I don't play Masterminds so Beast Mastery was vey "meh" to me.

I generally prefer ranged characters myself, but I found Staff Fighting extremely fun to play. If you can swing the points, I'd highly recommend it.


Q. Just wondering Posi, where are the new dance emotes we were told would come with GR?
A. Positron: Whoops, my bad.

1387 badges, and counting

Yeah, the art is absolutely awful. I hope that is the worst thing about this issue.

Don't anger the devs.

They may go all Quesada on you and retcon your characters out of the game.

My mistake.

Clarification is always nice, no need for the overuse of capital letters.


"Why is everyone worried that I am spending too much time in Dark Astoria, and the place is starting to make me darker? The truth is, what I have seen, what I know... these are the things that have made me reconsider my direction in life. I am still a hero... I just do things my own way now."

CAPS always feel left out...I like to give them their PROPS...

I liked it better when you couldn't get to server select until it was ready...now, every time I get excited THEN it shuts me down.

Grr...

Ditto.

That was VERY disappointing.

I assume it is because a select few are able to log in and help them test.

When they release it, when else?

It's a little disheartening to see people already complaining ("What? No new power sets?") before the issue even goes live. Especially since i23 is debuting so quickly after i22. New trials, new incarnate slot, the medieval costumes, portals to faraway zones, and more! What's to be disappointed* about?




*...other than the Penelope Yin artwork. That leg does look nuts!

At least that is my disappointment.

Sometime between tomorrow and the heat death of the universe. (My guess is Sept/Oct.)

I guess this could be fun if I had characters higher than 33....Hard to find peoples who like to team lately.
